I dunno, he changed his mind about that years and years ago. I don't think you should hate on someone because they're willing to change their beliefs after being presented with facts.
Joe Rogan is easy to hate if you haven't been exposed to him, he seems like a massive douchebag alpha male at first glance, but in reality he's a sweetheart who gets obsessive with things as a way to deal with his own insecurities. Sure he has muscles and hunts for his meat, but he is basically a massive nerd, he just nerds out about the stuff he likes rather than regular nerd culture.
I don't care about the "douchebag alpha male" thing, it's more that he's ignorant and gives pseudo-intellectuals a platform.
I'm torn on Joe Rogan. For years I thought he was nothing but a low-brow knucklehead douchebag bro, but I've been listening to some of his podcasts on YouTube lately and I've realized that he's actually smarter, more sensitive, and more open-minded than I initially thought. He's still a flake and douche in many ways, however.
I also like that he has a broad spectrum of guests representing the varying schools of thought and ideology. It's an entertaining show.
This is super important to stress. How frequently do we see people changing their mind these days? How often do any of us?
This is also super important. Something about Rogan himself bothers me, though I haven't figured it out yet. Aside from that, Joust's point is key. I don't want pseudo-intellectuals like Peterson or conspiracy morons like Jones being treated like the things they say have value. They don't. Call it censorship if you want, but there's no reason to treat people with bad faith arguments fairly. The "marketplace of ideas" is nonsense. Opinions can still be shit these days, and just because someone presents theirs under the guise of civil discussion (and especially if they can articulate that argument well) doesn't make them less ridiculous or less deserving of mockery. The tone of an argument doesn't dictate its worth, but we've somehow let that become the case.
